This is gonna be the thread where we talk about stuff

Eyeshield more active in this community although i don't have much to contribute. hello everyone I have typed this sentence with my smart phone's microphone

Eyeshield is my favorite anime with episodes set in Houston, TX

The other day we got some serious ice and snow; I didn't want my friend who buses to have to freeze her toes off on the way home, so I went to pick her up (fun side note, my phone thinks "het" is a more likely bet than "her", which I think says something about me). What is usually a fifteen to twenty minute round trip took literally literally four and a half hours. After an hour and a half, we had made so little progress that it was actually more efficient for her to walk back to her boyfriend's workplace (which is three buildings down from hers) and hang with him there until traffic cleared while I continued home than to take her to her place then return to mine. It was mind-searingly boring, except for the part where my truck and several other cars near us slid about six inches straight to the right simultaneously.

The important part of the trip though was that I discovered we have a Vietnamese place nearby called

Phở King
Good

good things that happened today:

Leaving the house late and finding my windscreen was /not/ frozen over
Putting on new tights
Touching base with old friends
The lunch I ate after not eating since a single croquette at 4pm yesterday
a class of forty focussed and animated students asking me what the hell cricket is and screaming "POINSETTIA" with mighty satisfaction
Surviving

Man i hate being stuck in traffic, good thing we don't have snow here but there's PLENTY of rain.

I've been gone for the past threeish days with no internet; I'm back now but still tired and recuperating.

I hope everyone had holidays that were happy.

Happy Halloween 2017, everyone.
We're starting it early this year to make up for all of 2016

Who else is willing to go into the uncertain future with proper identifying insignia?

Honestly if I get my hands on an embroidery machine I'll just make a bunch and mail them out.

Y'know I've noticed a lot of people interested in music on this site. Anybody got any good reference/programs for learning/making music for someone interested? (digital, synths n' stuff)

Wheat assembled a nice thread for that!

Ah, sweet. Thanks!

Dragon Fogel and I are going to be participating in the Galactic Puzzle Hunt next week under the banner of Team Eagle Time. Would anybody else like to join us?

I helped make said thing!

Brains are garbage and time is fake

I couldn’t figure which thread was best for this. I didn’t feel like it deserved the no-context treatment, nor was it actual avians, so I settled on this one.

Birds in Japanese armor.

that is very good and nice

agreed

I am entirely convinced that words aren't actually a thing.

So this guy on the sidewalk was trying to stop me from going forward and I thought he was just some creep trying to talk to me so I ignored him. Turns out he was crew on a movie set and I walked into their shot.

Oops.
